Enjoying your April springtime so far, Shoeblog readers?

Well, April’s about to get better for the lucky winner of a new pair of Danskos, since last week’s contest has come to a close.

And that winner is (drumroll please…)

Jill Kroese, who said:

I’d like the Thea in natural, size 41. Don’t have anything to go with them yet, but also don’t have a problem shopping for something!

Congratulations, Jill!!  As a Thea wearer myself, I can promise you stylish comfort is coming your way.

Drop me a line (jitterbugbaby at shoeblog dot com) with your contact info and final style choice.

Thanks for entering, everyone, and I must say I’m jealous of a number of your wardrobe items now!

The Paul Smith Mancini Flowered Loafer

You can’t find this loafer online very easily, especially on sale.

But you can find it on sale for $223 at the Paul Smith Sale Shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

It pays to read your ShoeBlog. Call them ahead to see if they have your size.

This loafer really caught my eye while I was out shopping with friends. It’s feminine, comfortable, and just a little showy with the gold panels.

Made with white and pink nubuck, contrast vintage gold panels, and beige leather soles, this is a 100% leather shoe.

Dansko Sandal Giveaway Winner!

Well, my shoe-loving friends, our Dansko sandal giveaway has come to an end.

Which means it’s time to announce a winner.

And that winner, according to a randomly selecting number generator, is… drumroll please…

Nancy L., who said: I love the Rowena in red!

Well, Nancy, drop me a line (jitterbugbaby at shoeblog dot com), and those Rowena’s in red can now be yours.

Anyone else feeling the Dansko love (and why you wouldn’t I don’t know), keep your eyes out for sales on these sandal styles as summer retailing season comes to an end.  Feel free to drop in and let us know if you find great sales or have your own comfy Dansko stories to share.

Dansko Shoe Review and Giveaway

Long time no see, Shoeblog afficionados!

I come bearing gifts, though.  Well… gift.  For one lucky winner.  But I get ahead of myself.

Since last posting I have worn many a shoe in many a country around the world, and none of that has changed the fact that I, as always, am perpetually in search of shoes that are comfy and supportive that don’t require me to sacrifice my fashionista qualifications.

Which means I’m super pleased to be able to report on the most recent addition to my shoe wardrobe.  For the last several weeks I’ve been wearing the Dansko Callie sandal at least twice a week if not more, and I’m kind of addicted to them. (more…)
